Implementing H.264/MPEG4 on Embedded Systems

Course id: 0033

Synopsis

H.264/AVC, also known as MPEG-4 part 10, is one of the most commonly used video compression standards for the recording, transmission, streaming and distribution of high definition video; being one of the integral codec of Blu-ray Disc.

This course concentrates on implementing the H.264/AVC on Linux-based embedded systems. The first part of this course will introduce the fundamentals of video compression and common video compression standards, including H.264/AVC. The second part of this course will cover the practical implementation of H.264 with standard libraries on Linux, and practical deployment on embedded systems.

Course highlight
Participants would be using the powerful, low cost Raspberry Pi embedded system.

What you will learn

This course concentrates on the theoretical and practical knowledge covering the following main topics:
  • Fundamentals of video compression
  • Video compression standards (MPEG-1/2/4, H.264/AVC, H.264 SVC)
  • Using Raspberry Pi with Debian Linux
  • Practical implementation of H.264 on embedded system

Who should attend

Engineers and researchers who wish to implement H.264 on embedded systems.

Prerequisite

Participants have to be familiar with the Linux environment and the C programming language.

Course methodology

This course is presented in a workshop style with lectures interlaced with demonstrations and hands-on practicals for maximum understanding.
